Cough and itching in throat
Dear Doctors,
My wife is having mild cough and having itching in throat. Since she is 12 week pregnent, kindly suggest a syrup or tablet which she can take to treat cough (since she is pregnant, we don't want to take a risk of home medicine or the syrup "Spid Expectorant" we have at home) also, can she take Turmeric if she feels cough?
Thank you
